“I think it's just yet another piece to cause confusion and I think that the 'so-called scientific debate' is very silly now - It's like a bunch of theologians arguing over how many angels you can stick on the head of a needle. When you've got a side that changes from global warming, global warming, global warming to climate change, which is intuitive - the climate has always been changing since the beginning of time - and then just begins to claim every answer is the correct answer, you often stand back, and I don't care who you are, you have to question as to what the real motive is in this.” ThinkingRealCareCausesSidesAnswersPiecesAngelClaimsWho You AreSticksClimateClimate ChangeDon't CareArguingDebateSillyBunchConfusionI Don't CareMotiveGlobal WarmingTheologianIntuitiveNeedles Author:Joe Bastardi
“The climate's sensitivity to greenhouse gases is considerably lower than the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change claims - so much lower, in fact, that the warming we would expect from doubling the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would be quite modest and offer very little risk.” LittlesFactsWould BeRiskAmountOffersClaimsClimateClimate ChangeAtmosphereModestCarbonSensitivityGreenhousesCarbon DioxideGreenhouse Gases Author:Kenneth P.

“For nearly a century, the moral relativism of science has given faith-based religion--that great engine of ignorance and bigotry--a nearly uncontested claim to being the only universal framework for moral wisdom. As a result, the most powerful societies on early spend their time debating issues like gay marriage when they should be focused on problems like nuclear proliferation, genocide, energy security, climate change, poverty, and failing schools.” ShouldProblemSchoolEnergyGivenResultsPowerfulMoralPovertyIssuesFailingCenturySecurityIgnoranceGayUniversalClaimsClimateClimate ChangeFocusedNuclearMost PowerfulBigotryGenocideEnginesFrameworkGay MarriageProliferationRelativismFaith BasedNuclear ProliferationMoral RelativismEnergy Security Author:Sam Harris

“Why would scientists dedicated to uncovering the truth about the natural world deliberately misrepresent the work of their own colleagues? Why would they spread accusations with no basis? Why would they refuse to correct their arguments once they had been shown to be incorrect?

“At a recent conference, a colleague told one of us that in IPCC discussions, some scientists have been reluctant to make strong claims about the scientific evidence, lest contrarians "attack us". Another said that she'd rather err on the side of conservatism in her estimates, because then she feels more "secure."” FeelsHas BeensSaidStrongSidesEvidenceScientistClaimsClimate ChangeSecureDiscussionColleaguesConferencesConservatismReluctantScientific Evidence Author:Naomi Oreskes

“In the APS (American Physical Society) it is ok to discuss whether the mass of the proton changes over time and how a multi-universe behaves, but the evidence of global warming is incontrovertible? The claim (how can you measure the average temperature of the whole earth for a whole year?) is that the temperature has changed from ~288.0 to ~288.8 degree Kelvin in about 150 years, which (if true) means to me is that the temperature has been amazingly stable, and both human health and happiness have definitely improved in this 'warming' period.'” IfsYearsHumansMeanHas BeensWholeEarthUniverseChangedPeriodsDegreesMassEvidenceClaimsClimate ChangeAverageBehaveGlobal WarmingStableTemperatureWhole YearHuman HealthChanges Over TimeProton Author:Ivar Giaever
